Origin and history

The Maison des Dentelles is a monument located in the city of Argentan, Normandy. Although its exact period of construction is not specified in the available sources, its name evokes a strong link with local handicrafts, including lace, a major historical activity of the region. Woodwork houses or craft buildings, such as this one, often played a central role in the economic and social life of Norman cities.

In Argentan, lace production has marked local history, and this type of monument could have served as a place of manufacture, sale or representation for this emblematic industry.
